  • Zohra (Dihya) today: / cf1lgxem9aw --- Zohra was born in the village of Taghit in Algeria in 1950. When she was 8 years old her family moved to France. Eventually she started playing guitar and singing and eventually won a talent competition that allowed her to record “Badala Zamana” a classic of Chaoui disco. Zohra’s 1970s excursion into the genre was short lived though, soured by a bad experiences with the french music industry and soon after the release of the single she moved from France back to Algeria and changed her artist name to Dihya. With the change in name also came a change in the direction of her work which was now much more embedded into being a tireless activist and advocate for the rights of the amazigh people. An activism that would eventually get her banned from Algeria and her music being forbidden to be distributed and played on radio. This didn’t keep Dihya and her husband, the producer and poet Messaoud Nedjahi from standing up for their convictions and beliefs though and music was just one of the lanes they used to spread it. “Ekker d! Ekker d!” was her first full time album and dedicated to her Chaoui heritage, calls for women’s rights and a testament of her proudness of her Amazigh identity. In 2014 she was allowed to visit her home country again and she was greeted and welcomed by large crowds eager to see their artist back on Algerian soil.

    She's singing in Kbayli (Northen Algeria's berber dialect) so I'm wondering why is it labeled as music from 'the arab world'

    • @TheDrinkingBird
      @TheDrinkingBird 3 года назад +31

      More specifically Chawi, from Eastern Algeria, I believe (as opposed to Kbayli from the centre). It's not Arabic but arguably still from the Arab world.

    • @habibifunk
      @habibifunk  3 года назад +21

      you are totally right. "arab world" is very reductive and it being used is only due to the limited space of a headline. the liner notes mention that 99% of her work was/is in choui.
